Raven

Blind Love

You were pulling out some weeds when the creak of the gate made you turn around. Your mother was standing on the threshold, wearing a silk dress, gloves, and dark glasses.

“What is it, Mom?” you asked.

She took off her glasses.

• Get ready. We're leaving. No objections.

You took an old suitcase, packed your books and clothes, and went out. A limousine was waiting outside.

• Why are you frozen? Sit down! - the mother shouted from the window.

The butler woke you up at the threshold of the villa. The sea, the mountains, the sunset…

“Wow…” you breathed out.

The mother laughed, leaning on the stranger's shoulder. A guy came up to you.

• I'm Raven. And you?

• (Your name).

“You look… colorful.” He left without turning around.

In the morning, there was an iPhone, a dress and a note on the nightstand:

"You threw out your old stuff - there's something better in the closet."

You knocked on Raven's door.

• Open up!

He stood on the threshold, his shirt unbuttoned.

• Yes? - a mocking look.
